Join Chris Coladonato, Forest Bathing Guide (Connection Catalyst and Sarah Karp, Master of Medical Qigong (Qigong Health and Wellness, LLC) for our next mindful exploration.

🚶‍♀️Begin with a slow, guided walk through the trees as we tune in to the sights, sounds, and sensations of autumn - a season of change and gentle release. Leaves fall. The air cools. Days grow shorter. It’s a natural reminder that it’s okay to slow down and let go of what we no longer need. This walking meditation helps you quiet your mind and arrive fully in the moment for qigong.

🧘‍♀️During our seasonal qigong flow, we’ll continue the theme of releasing what no longer serves you (much like the trees as they drop their leaves) while also cultivating a stronger immune system.

🧺After our guided experience -- If you’d like to further enjoy and connect with nature, the water, and our community, we invite you to bring snacks/lunch and a blanket.

🍂As summer fades, the world transforms into warm, earthy tones. The sun casts a golden hue over fields, and the air turns crisp with scents of ripe fruits and wood smoke. Farmers gather their final harvests, filling baskets with apples, pumpkins, and squash. The once lush landscape now begins to don a cloak of amber, crimson, and gold, with leaves creating a crunchy tapestry underfoot.

☮This transition marks a shift from summer's vibrancy to autumn's introspective focus. As nature begins to slow down, we too are encouraged to pause and reflect.

🍂The Autumn Equinox peaks today, September 22nd, at 2:19pm EST. This moment of perfect balance between light and dark (when day and night are equal in length) invites us to shed what no longer serves us, much like the trees letting go of their leaves.

☮Yin and yang (a symbol used in Daoist philosophy) are in perfect balance during the Autumn Equinox. Embracing the increasing yin energy of the season, we turn inward, nurturing our inner lives and preparing for the quiet, reflective days of winter. This is a time to honor our personal harvests, celebrate our growth, and set intentions for the months to come, finding harmony and balance in the cyclical dance of nature. Yin energy increases until it reaches its peak during the Winter Solstice.

➡Yin and Yang Symbolism + the Seasons⬅
The ancients are said to have plotted a graph consisting of six concentrically larger rings. An 8-foot pole, anchored in the center, was used to measure the shadows cast by the sun throughout the seasons. Both where the shade landed and where there was none were marked accordingly. When looked at from above, the graph showed a picture that resembles the yin and yang symbol (but without the two dots on either side), giving rise to the concept of balance and its relationship to the seasons and nature.

Experience the richness of ceremonial cacao infused with spices like cinnamon and ginger, and partake in an *optional catered autumn harvest vegan dinner, with protein options for all dietary preferences. Embrace this time of reflection and nourishment as you prepare for the winter ahead.

➡Prepare your tea at the start to enjoy at the end.

💓Practice Mindful Stretching:
As you inhale, gently lift your arms up to the sides and overhead, reaching for the sky. As you exhale, slowly bend forward toward the earth. You may practice this either standing or seated. This movement stimulates circulation and energy flow. For more mindful movement, join me at qigong classes in Baltimore County, Baltimore City, or online! https://www.qigonghw.com/qigong-classes

💓Breathe Deeply:
Close your eyes and take a few deep belly breaths. Inhale slowly through your nose, hold for a moment, and exhale through your mouth. This simple act helps clear the mind and reduce stress, supporting the spleen's emotional balance.

💓Visualize Grounding:
Imagine roots growing from your feet into the earth, providing stability and grounding. Visualize yourself absorbing nourishing golden energy or light from the earth. Draw this golden light into your center, feeling balanced, grounded, and connected to the earth.

💓Connect with Your Inner Wisdom:
As you breathe, ask yourself “What nourishes me?”. Reflect on what comes up. Are there practices that you’re already doing that nourish you? What practices can you add to your self-care routine? Asking this question shifts your focus to empowerment, reinforcing a mindful and solution-oriented mindset.

💓Enjoy Ginger Tea:
Slowly sip a nourishing cup of ginger tea. Ginger helps warm the body and counteract dampness, promoting digestive health.

💓Bonus: Practice Gratitude:
Reflect on what you feel grateful for in this moment. Gratitude allows you to focus on what heals and nourishes you.

Restoring Balance: Spleen + Earth Element Tips

✨Eat Warming Foods:
Ginger and Cinnamon: These spices are excellent for warming the body and supporting the spleen's functions. They help manage internal dampness by promoting circulation and digestion. Try adding ginger to your tea or cinnamon to your morning oatmeal. I like cutting up apples and sprinkling with cinnamon, which is also good for managing blood glucose levels.

✨Choose Whole Grains + Foods:
Whole grains like brown rice and quinoa provide sustained energy and support the spleen's ability to process nutrients. Incorporating naturally sweet foods like fruits and vegetables (apples, sweet potatoes, pumpkin, carrots) can satisfy sweet cravings.

✨Practice Qigong Mindful Movement:
During this month’s earth element qigong flow, we support healthy digestion, allowing for better circulation of blood, qi, and fluids. We also release toxic patterns of overwhelm, overthinking, worry, while cultivating healthy trust, grounding, and stability.
➡Five qigong classes (including 1 virtual class) weekly!⬅ https://www.qigonghw.com/qigong-classes

✨Meditation + Introspection:
By focusing on the question, “What nourishes me?” you can align your actions with your body's needs. You may be surprised at what shows up when simply asking direct questions!

I've been trying to write this week's content for days. Dealing with overwhelm, I turned to processed sugar (a lot of it).

The result? Initially, a feel-good dopamine hit! But then, guilt and shame crept in (I “know” better). I felt ungrounded, unsettled, inflamed, and neck and shoulder pain. Trouble sleeping, focusing, and making decisions (like this week's topic) followed. An extra spicy “bonus”: migraines, which appear when I neglect self-care. Ugh!

Seeking nourishment and comfort, I instead created more overwhelm and dysregulation. 0/10. Would not recommend. 🚫 But, no need to dwell on poor decisions. Each moment is a chance to choose differently. I chose to return to balance.

In Traditional Chinese Medicine, the spleen is crucial for physical, emotional, and mental harmony. It's linked to the earth element, symbolizing balance, grounding, and nourishment.

Negative Effects of Excess Processed Sugar on the Spleen:
✨Dampness & Phlegm Accumulation: Processed sugar worsens body dampness. The spleen transforms and transports fluids, but too much sugar overwhelms this, causing bloating, lethargy, and weight gain.
✨Weakened Digestive Function: Excess sugar weakens the spleen’s ability to digest and assimilate nutrients, leading to poor appetite, loose stools, and heaviness.
✨Impaired Concentration & Focus: The spleen is linked to mental clarity. Excess sugar hampers focus and memory, creating mental fog and sluggishness.
✨Emotional Instability: The spleen is tied to worry. Disruption leads to anxiety and overthinking, making grounding difficult.
✨Cravings & Emotional Eating: Spleen imbalance causes sweet cravings, creating a cycle of emotional eating where sugar is a temporary comfort, worsening imbalance.

Remember, each moment is a new opportunity to make choices that restore balance and nourish your body and mind.

Take Control of Your Health & Wellness

Have seen people needlessly suffer - and certainly having experienced it myself - I care deeply about providing opportunities, insight, and knowledge so that others may thrive, instead of just survive.

Over time, we've lost our connection with our internal world, instead focusing so heavily on circumstances and what's going on outside of us. For successful healing to occur, shifting our attention inward is critical. This journey begins with a willingness to look deeper into yourself and what's keeping you stuck. Also, with an openness to experiencing alternative healing methods - ones that have been utilized in China for thousands of years.

We are so powerful in creating our experiences. It's time to take back control of your health and wellness, achieved by learning ways to effectively hone the natural wisdom of your bodies and minds. Are you ready?
